„Café Waldluft” is not what it used to be. Once a tourist hot spot nestling in the picturesque mountains of Bavaria it turned out to be a run-down hotel with a few remaining guests in their late sixties. But there is something very unique about the place: it offers shelter to refugees from all across the globe. For each one of them it bares the hope of a new beginning, the aspiration of a new home - waiting somewhere behind a multitude of obstacles. So what does it take for them to arrive for good? What doesn't it really take for a place to become home?

Italy, home of ruins: A foray into the unfinished, Italy's most prominent architectural style between the end of WW2 and the present day. Buildings in a limbo between perfection and nothingness, given up on halfway through their construction, fallen into ruin before they were ever used, are an integral part of the Italian architectural landscape: Stadiums without potential value of unfinished buildings in Italy and of man's ability to adapt them to his everyday needs. These ruins, whose future has already passed and whose present carries the taste of an eternal wait, act as an invitation to meditate about time.

In the city of Bolzano, in Italy, a country whose right wing groups are growing everyday, the camera enters for an ideal night in a bar where a group of
militants meets. The film tries to reproduce the atmosphere full of contraddictions, without explaining the deep reasons of this phenomenon. It works on an emotional level. The result is a disquieting portrait, leaving everyone free to judge and reflect about what lives beside us.After Casa Pound brought a charge against ZeLIG, the film cannot be shown in puplic.

Squeezed like lemons

The ecconomic crises and the consequences of the strict austerity policies of the current technocratic government have hit the Italian people hard. Tax offices are being occupied by force while business people are taking their own lives in despair.
The parliamentary elections due at the beginning of 2013 will stoke up and intensify the climate in the autumn months, excacerbating the ongoing political and cultural crisis; new parties and movements will spring up, while old ghosts might just rise up. No Man's Land documents the mood in Italy from the point of view of those whose existence is threatened by the political and economical crisis.
